2016 MAGAZINE ADVERTISING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SOUTHERN LIVING MAGAZINE
2016 MAGAZINE ADVERTISING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following are certain general terms and conditions governing advertising published in the U.S. print and digital editions of Southern Living Magazine (the
“Magazine”) published by Time Inc. Lifestyle Group (the “Publisher”).
1. Rates are based on average total audited circulation, effective with the issue
dated January, 2016. Announcement of any change in rates and/or circulation rate base will be made in advance of the Magazine’s advertising sales close date of the
first issue to which such rates and/or circulation rate base will be applicable. The
Magazine Rate Card specifies the publication schedule of the Magazine, and its on-
sale dates.
2. The Magazine is a member of the Alliance for Audited Media (the “AAM”). Total
audited circulation is reported on an issue-by-issue basis in publisher’s statements
audited by the AAM. Total audited circulation for the Magazine is comprised of paid
plus verified.
3. An advertiser running a full-run qualifying advertisement in the Magazine will
automatically run in the print and digital edition of the Magazine, unless the
advertiser explicitly, in writing, opts-out of running in the digital edition,
either on the insertion order or via email, by no later than the ad close date.
In the event advertiser opts-out of running in the digital edition of the Magazine for any reason other than legal or regulatory considerations that advertiser reasonably
believes would prevent the advertisement from running in the digital edition, such
advertiser’s ad placement will no longer be deemed a “full-run” buy, and advertiser
would therefore not be entitled to the benefits of advertising on a full-run basis (by
way of example and not limitation, the advertisement would not be eligible for IBIT credits and may not be considered for premium placement). Certain
advertisements that are not standard and/or full-page run-of-book advertisements
may not qualify to run in the digital version, including but not limited to, scented
units and business reply cards. Please consult the Publisher for details. If an
advertiser elects to opt-out of the digital edition, such opt-out will apply to all devices and platforms.
Qualifying advertisements, depending on various factors, including but not limited
to the device and/or platform on which they are viewed, may be viewed in SFP
format: “straight from print advertising format” or “SFP” where the page on screen
looks exactly like the advertisement appearing in the print edition. Qualifying advertisements running in the digital edition of the Magazine will automatically run
in a straight from print advertising format. If an advertiser wishes to include its
qualifying advertisement in the digital edition in a format other than straight from
print (i.e., designed for tablet advertising format or enhanced for tablet advertising
format), it must so indicate prominently on the insertion order by the ad close date. Please consult the Publisher for details.
4. With respect to qualifying advertisements in a straight from print advertising
format, if a URL exists in the print creative, such URL shall be automatically
activated unless advertiser notifies the Publisher otherwise in writing; if the print creative has multiple URLs, the Publisher shall activate the brand’s main URL unless
notified otherwise in writing. With respect to qualifying advertisements in a
“designed for tablet” advertising format, if such advertising creative contains one
URL, the Publisher shall automatically activate that URL; if the advertisement
contains more than one URL, the Publisher shall activate the brand’s main URL.
5. Advertisers may not cancel orders for, or make changes in, advertising after the
closing dates of the Magazine.
6. The Publisher is not responsible for errors or omissions in any advertising materials provided by the advertiser or its agency (including errors in key
numbers) or for changes made after closing dates.
7. The Publisher may reject or cancel any advertising for any reason at any time.
Advertisements simulating the Magazine’s editorial material in appearance or style or that are not immediately identifiable as advertisements are not acceptable.
8. All advertisements, including without limitation those for which the Publisher has
provided creative services, are accepted and published in the Magazine subject to the
representation by the agency and advertiser that they are authorized to publish the
entire contents and subject matter thereof in all applicable editions, formats and derivations of the Magazine and that such publication will not violate any law, regulation
or advertising code or infringe upon any right of any party. In consideration of the
publication of advertisements, the advertiser and agency will, jointly and severally,
indemnify, defend and hold the Publisher harmless from and against any and all losses
and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of the publication of such advertisements in all applicable editions, formats
and derivations of the Magazine, including, without limitation, those arising from third
party claims or suits for defamation, copyright or trademark infringement,
misappropriation, unfair competition, violation of the Lanham Act or any rights of
privacy or publicity, or any unfair commercial practice or misleading advertising or impermissible comparative advertising or from any and all claims or regulatory
breaches now known or hereafter devised or created (collectively “Claims”). In the
event the Publisher has agreed to provide contest or sweepstakes management
services, email design or distribution or other promotional services in connection with
an advertising commitment by advertiser, all such services are performed upon the warranty of the agency and advertiser that they will, jointly and severally, indemnify
and hold the Publisher harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of the
publication, use or distribution of any materials, products (including, without limitation,
prizes) or services provided by or on behalf of the agency or advertiser, their agents
and employees, including, without limitation, those arising from any Claims. In consideration of the Publisher’s reviewing for acceptance, or acceptance of, any
advertising for publication in the Magazine, the agency and advertiser agree not to
make promotional or merchandising reference to the Magazine in any way without the
prior written permission of the Publisher in each instance.
9. No conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing on contracts, orders or copy
instructions which conflict with, vary, or add to these Terms and Conditions or the
provisions of the Magazine’s Rate Card will be binding on the Publisher and to the
extent that the Terms and Conditions contained herein are inconsistent with any such
conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall govern and supersede any such conditions.
10. The Publisher has the right to insert the advertising anywhere in the Magazine at
its discretion, and any condition on contracts, orders or copy instructions involving the
placement of advertising within an issue of the Magazine (such as page location, competitive separation or placement facing editorial copy) will be treated as a
positioning request only and cannot be guaranteed. The Publisher will attempt to keep
the same running order of advertisements in the digital edition as they appeared in the
print edition, but the Publisher does not make any adjacency guarantees or other
promises regarding competitive separation of the positioning of any advertisements in the digital edition. The Publisher's inability or failure to comply with any condition shall
not relieve the agency or advertiser of the obligation to pay for the advertising.
11. The Publisher shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever for any failure to
publish or circulate all or any part of any issue(s) of the Magazine because of strikes, work stoppages, accidents, fires, acts of God or any other circumstances not within the
control of the Publisher.
12. Agency commission (or equivalent): up to 15% (where applicable to recognized
agents) of gross advertising charges after earned advertiser discounts.
13. Invoices are rendered on or about the on-sale date of the Magazine. Payments are
due within 30 days from the billing date. The Publisher reserves the right to charge
interest each month on the unpaid balance at the rate of 1.5%, or if such rate is not
permitted by applicable law, at the highest rate so permitted by applicable law, determined and compounded daily from the due date until the date paid. The Publisher

TIME INC.
2016 ISSUE-BY-ISSUE TALLY (IBIT) PRICING SYSTEM
1. Magazine c irculation delivery of the U .S. and North A merican editions of magazines published by T ime Inc. and its
affiliates (collectively, referred to herein as the “Publisher”) is measured on an issue -by-issue tally (IBIT) pric ing system for
full-run c irculation advertising only. The IBIT pricing system is administered by comparing, for each issue of a magazine in
which an advertiser books space and remits a cash payment for such advertisement, the is sue’s total audited c irculation as
reported in the magazine’s P ublisher’s Statement issued by the A lliance for A udited Media (AAM) or the Brand Report is sued
by BPA Worldwide (BPA) for the firs t or second half of the 2016 calendar year and the published total circulation rate base
as set forth in the applicable magazine’s rate card.
2. In order to permit advertisers to apply earned IBIT credit in a timely manner, A AM Publisher’s Statements and BPA Brand
Reports are used to calculate IBIT credit. The calculation may only be made following the is suance of the Publisher’s
Statements or Brand Reports for second half of the 2016 calendar year (July – December) and will be based on final billed
earned advertising rates.
3. Total audited c irculation for magazines audited by A AM is comprised of paid plus verified (plus analyzed non -paid for
those magazines who count analyzed non-paid in their rate base as set forth in such magazine’s A dvertising Terms and
C onditions). Total audited c irculation for magazines audited by BPA is comprised of qualified paid and/or qualified non -paid
as set forth in such magazine’s Advertising Terms and C onditions.
4 . IBIT c redits will be calculated on an individual insertion bas is and will only be c redited to an advertiser if the total audited
c irculation of the is sue booked by the advertiser is lower by more than two percent (2%) than its published c irculation rate
base.
5. I f the total audited c irculation of the is sue booked by an advertiser is lower by more than two percent (2%) than its
published c irculation rate base, the advertiser’s IBIT c redit will be calculated by multiplying the net cos t after agency
commissions (excluding production premiums) (“Net C ost”) of the advertiser’s insertion in that issue by the difference
between two percent and the ac tual percentage by which the total audited c irculation is less than its published c irculation
rate base. By way of example, if the “Net C os t” of the advertiser’s insertion is $100,000 and the total audited c irculation of
an issue is three percent lower than its published c irculation rate base, the IBIT c redit would be calculated as follows:
$100,000 x (3% - 2%) = $1,000.
6. IBIT c redit must be used against future insertions, must be applied at the magazine at which it was earned and must be
used within 12 months after the is suance of the Publisher’s Statements or Brand Reports for the second half (July –
December) AAM/BPA reporting period and calculation of the 2016 IBIT c redit. A n advertiser may apply IBIT c redit to any
brand, produc t or divis ion within the same advertiser parent company.
7 . IBIT c redit will be is sued net of agency commissions and must be applied to invoices net of agency commissions. No
agency commissions will be paid by the magazine on IBIT c redit.
8. IBIT c redit may be applied to production charges.
9 . The magazine will not refund IBIT c redit as cash.
10. O nly full-run c irculation advertising in regular issues as reported in the Publisher’s Statements issued by AAM and the
Brand Reports issued by BPA are eligible for IBIT credit. The following are not eligible for IBIT c redit: (a) spec ial issues
published in addition to the normal frequency of a magazine, whether or not reported in the A AM Publisher’s Statements and
BPA Brand Reports, and (b) any issues specifically excluded from being eligible for IBIT per the applicable magazine’s rate
card. Notwiths tanding the foregoing, if the advertiser opts -out of running its advertisement in the digital edition of the
magazine because of legal or regulatory considerations such advertisement shall remain eligible for IBIT c redit.
11 . No barter (whether cash paid or trade), s tandby or remnant advertising is eligible for IBIT c redit.
12 . IBIT c redit will only be is sued against eligible insertions that have been paid in full at the final earned and billed (pre -
IBIT) rate.
13 . P ublisher reserves the right to modify these terms.
